A radio disc jockey has 8 songs on this upcoming hour's playlist: 3 are rock songs, 3 are reggae songs, and 2 are country songs. The disc jockey randomly chooses the first song to play, and then she randomly chooses the second song from the remaining ones. What is the probability that the first song is a reggae song and the second is a rock song?

I am not the best with probabilities, so you may need a second opinion..

probability of picking a reggae song on the first pick is 3/8
probability of picking a rock song (from remaining picks)...I think...is 3/7

3/8 * 3/7 = 9/56

but like I said...you probably need a second opinion
